After Yang Jihua was sent away, Lu Yuan's place was not quiet for long, and soon new guests arrived.
"Friend Lu Dao."
Zhenxuan's old face was full of smiles. After entering the door, he kept chatting about home affairs and trivial matters of being the head of the family over the years, as if he was visiting relatives and friends.
Lu Yuan listened for a while and saw that the other party was still unwilling to speak, so he said impatiently: "Fellow Taoist Zhenxuan, are you here to find me just to talk about this?"
Compared to Yang Jihua, his attitude towards this fellow villager is better.
There is no way. The main strategy of Taiping Dao is to unite with the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect in the future to eliminate the Evergreen Immortal Sect and unify the entire region.
Under this strategic policy, it is natural to have a good relationship with Jiuzhou Xianmen.
Therefore, in the past four hundred years, Lu Yuan, on the surface, has always been impartial towards the Evergreen Immortal Sect and the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. Whoever gives more money will be favored.
But in private, apart from official duties, Lu Yuan distanced himself from the Evergreen Immortal Sect and preferred the Kyushu Immortal Sect when it came to the relationship between the two high-level officials.
The main focus is on one, the middle and lower levels are dominated by Evergreen Immortal Sect, and the upper level is dominated by Jiuzhou Immortal Sect. The top and bottom are balanced, and no one loses.
It took four hundred years for him and Zhenxuan to form quite a friendship.
Because of this, Zhenxuan was able to chat with Lu Yuan about these trivial matters at this time.
"Friend Lu Dao, why are you in a hurry? I don't have the patience to talk about my feelings with you."
Zhenxuan complained, but looking at Lu Yuan's expression, he did not continue chatting, but said solemnly: "This time I came to find Fellow Daoist Lu mainly because of your sect's change of headmaster.
In just four hundred years, the noble sect has changed its leader again, and Taoist friend is about to abdicate. I have never heard of the new leader before, and I don’t know what his temperament is. What is his attitude towards me, Kyushu?
So I came here specifically to visit fellow Taoists and want to get some advice from fellow Taoists. "
Not only the Evergreen Immortal Sect was worried about the change of leader of Taiping Dao.
Even the Kyushu side is also worried.
No, there are people coming from both sides.
"I knew that was why you came."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan filtered out part of what he had said to Yang Jihua before: "My junior brother Yu takes up the post of headmaster this time to clear up the atmosphere in the sect and bridge the divisions among the disciples."
He briefly talked about Yu Peijin's responsibilities, and then warned: "He is different from me, and can only be moved by money and foreign objects. If you want to associate with him in the future, you can only do it on business, and don't have other thoughts."
Hearing this, Zhenxuan had a bitter look on his face: "Well, Fellow Daoist Lu, how can we be so clear-cut in our seven-hundred-year friendship between the two religions? Everything is calculated so clearly that it hurts feelings for nothing, and there are also many inconveniences. Fellow Daoist does not Is there any way?"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "What can I do? The sect has already made a decision, and there is absolutely no way to change or stop this matter. And after I abdicate, I will be in seclusion like Senior Brother Ruyi and ignore foreign affairs. From now on, I can’t control things.”
"Ah, Taoist friend wants to retreat?"
Just like Yang Jihua when he heard the news that Lu Yuan was going to retreat, Zhenxuan looked equally shocked after hearing the news, and it was difficult to understand why the other party would do this.
But after the shock, Zhenxuan reacted and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Fellow Taoist Yi was in seclusion before, and now he hasn't come out for four hundred years. Fellow Taoist Yi is now in seclusion again, and I don't know when I can see him again in the future.
The future Taoist master Jade of Taiping Taoism said that it was difficult to get along with him.
The only real people your family has good relations with in Jiuzhou are Lu Daoyou and Yi Daoyou.
You all have gone into seclusion. From now on, if I, Jiuzhou and Taiping Dao, want to discuss something, who should I go to?
You can't really do what fellow Taoist said and just do business with Jade Master.
How to talk about things? "
Many things cannot be done if they are put on the table and dealt with completely in a business-like manner.
If you want to negotiate something, you have to discuss it in private.
There is no better way to deal with the world than to be like this.
Over the years, the relationship between Taiping Dao and Jiuzhou has grown rapidly, and this relies on more than just business.
The close relationship between Yi Dancheng and Lu Yuan, the two previous leaders, and the senior officials of Kyushu was also a crucial factor.
Now Taiping Dao has changed its leader, and the first two leaders have gone into seclusion one after another, which is equivalent to cutting off the high-level communication between the two sects at once.
How can their relationship be maintained?
What?
You said that Yang Xiu'an also has a good relationship with Jiuzhou. This Taiping Tao true immortal is also considered a high-level person.
He's not considered a high-level person. It's not just a matter of talking about him. It depends on whether he has any influence on the sect's decision-making.
From the current situation, it seems that Yang Xiu'an didn't even notice the change of head coach.
Not to mention the right to vote on the proposal, he doesn't even have the right to watch. What kind of high-level person is this?
Zhenxuan, who is quite familiar with the institutional mechanisms within the Taiping Dao Sect, naturally cannot count on this person.
When Lu Yuan heard Zhenxuan complaining like this, he couldn't help but ponder: "Fellow Taoist said it is indeed reasonable. You and I have a close relationship, and we really can't be separated at the same time."
He thought for a while and said: "Let's do this. If fellow Taoist Zhenxuan has something to do in the future, he can go to Jiuchuan Country to find my senior brother Che and discuss it with him. Although junior brother Yu has succeeded him as the head teacher, senior brother Che's qualifications are here after all. For You can still talk about some things inside the door.
If you go find him, as long as the matter is reasonable, Senior Brother Che will not ignore it.
Before I go into seclusion, I will talk to Brother Che about this matter and ask him to take care of it. "
After he and Yi Dancheng retreated, Lu Yuan's next plan was to push Che Shidao to the forefront.
Or, it can't be said that he was pushed to the front of the stage. He was just asked to be a smoke bomb to confuse the world.
After all, Che Shidao's cultivation level is already that of an Earth Immortal, and he is also not suitable for public appearances, as it would be easy for others to see through him.
In recent years, this clone has also adopted the character of an ascetic monk.
He practiced quietly in the Dragon Palace every day and never came out once in ten years.
Lu Yuan pushed this person out because he wanted to use this to prevent the outside world from infiltrating Taiping Dao.
after all.
Compared with a headmaster who can come to visit frequently and has a wide range of friends.
An ascetic monk who rarely met people and had a withdrawn personality was obviously not that easy to deal with.
Facing this kind of person is not a big deal. Are you embarrassed to come and disturb me?
If you really want to annoy others and make them anxious, then you won't be able to do anything in the future, and you won't even be able to get in.
Having less contact with others can also prevent your own cultivation from being exposed.
With this person, he can not only maintain close contact with the outside world, but also block those annoying people. Lu Yuan also took great pains.
"Driving friends?"
After hearing Lu Yuan's recommendation, Zhenxuan thought about it and found that he didn't have much impression of that Che Zhenren in his mind.
The only understanding of the other party was that seven hundred years ago, Master Che followed Master Qingguanzi and Master Yi to sweep Yunan and participated in the ghost exorcism ceremony.
But since the Dharma Conference, Master Che has been sitting in Jiuchuan Kingdom for seven hundred years. Except for attending a few celebrations on Taiping Dao, he has never left home again.
I have been nesting in Jiuchuan Dragon Palace, and I have become a homebody with peace of mind.
Therefore, in recent years, as rising stars, Yang Xiu'an and Yu Shipeng have become very popular in Taiping Dao, and their reputations are unparalleled.
But this Mr. Che seemed to have disappeared and was not known to anyone.
As a result, Zhenxuan would not have been able to think of this person for a moment if it wasn't for Lu Yuan's recommendation.
This is the only way to keep a low profile as a person.
But regardless of whether the other party is low-key or not, Lu Yuan is right about one thing, that is, in Taiping Dao, this Master Che's qualifications are high enough.
In the eyes of outsiders, as one of the three founders of the sect, Che Shidao's status in Taiping Dao was second only to Qingguanzi and Yidancheng.
Even Lu Yuan, who had been a leader for four hundred years, dared not claim to be better than the other party.
If you can follow this person's path, then it will definitely be no problem to continue to exert influence on Taipingdao in the future.
With Che Zhenren here, the successor, Headmaster Jade, no matter how unreasonable he is, will still have to give him some mercy.
Thinking of this, Zhenxuan looked at Lu Yuan with excitement on his face: "If Taoist fellow Taoist can really speak to the true master of Dongche, then the friendship between you and I will be worry-free."
As he said this, Zhenxuan had made up his mind to visit Jiuchuan Kingdom more often in the future to win over this important person.
Really.
They had not noticed such a crucial person for the past seven hundred years.
What a mistake.
But this is also due to the real person Che, who is too low-key.
In other words, even if outsiders want to get in touch with the low-key Che Zhenren, there is no way.
This time, Lu Yuan wanted to retreat into seclusion, so he was given a way.
Otherwise, even if Zhenxuan wants to see the other party, it will be difficult.
This time I finally found a way out, so of course I had to hold on tight.
Needless to say, Yang and Yu are of no importance to the eight real men of Taiping Dao.
Among the remaining six, Qing Guanzi is at the top, and this real person is on good terms with the real person Song from the Evergreen Immortal Sect alone, and is not restricted by the people below at all.
With this real person here, the Evergreen Immortal Sect has no worries at all about communicating with Taiping Dao.
Master Song has sent a letter, can Master Qing Guanzi accept it?
It is easiest for the opponent to break the game.
On the contrary, Jiuzhou lost Yidan City first, and finally conquered Lu Yuan, and now it is going to be lost again.
After these two blows, an ordinary person would have given up long ago.
In other words, Kyushu is a matter of life and death, so we have to worry about it here.
At this time, I saw a hole, and in order to maintain the alliance with Taiping Dao, I had no choice but to dig in.
Lu Yuan saw Zhenxuan's excited expression and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, with my trust, Senior Brother Che will definitely get close to you."
In addition to the above reasons, there is actually another reason for pushing out the driver's road.
That is to use this clone to further consume the Kyushu heritage.
Faced with such a low-key, reclusive, taciturn person, if Jiuzhou wants to win over him, then he has to put in more effort?
Let’s not talk about feelings. How about sending all kinds of spiritual treasures and immortal materials to the top?
And if you give more, Jiuzhou will naturally have less in your hands.
In order to attack the Evergreen Immortal Sect, although Lu Yuan was prepared to cooperate with Jiuzhou, this cooperation had to be prioritized.
From what he means, it is natural to put himself first.
Therefore, in order to prevent the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect from causing trouble and disobedience, it is natural to weaken this younger brother first so that the opponent does not have the strength to jump back.
There is nothing better than pushing a clone out and opening a channel to consume Kyushu so that the other party can jump in willingly.
Look, isn’t this old guy Zhenxuan taking the bait now?
With some pride in his heart, Lu Yuan chatted with Zhenxuan about Che Shi Dao again, trying to give the old guy as much confidence as possible.
So that he can spend more money on Che Shidao.
It wasn't until sunset that he reluctantly sent the other person away.
Now that this person is gone, Lu Yuan's place is finally quiet, and no one will disturb him again.
After all, other people are not like the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect and the Evergreen Immortal Sect, who have a stake in Taiping Dao and have to pay attention to them all the time.
For other surrounding neighbors, the change of leadership of Taiping Dao is just a piece of news and will not affect their own interests.
Naturally, there is no need to specially come to build a former head coach who is about to abdicate.
If you have some spare time, wouldn't it be better to put your energy into the new head coach?
Time flies, and the date of the succession ceremony will soon arrive.
In front of many envoys watching the ceremony, Lu Yuan officially handed over the position of head teacher to Yu Peijin.
Then in front of everyone, he directly announced that he was going to retreat.
The ceremony came to an end amidst everyone's surprise.
And as many envoys left one after another, Yu Peijin also officially took charge of Taiping Dao. Following the creation of the first chief priest and the accumulation of the second chief priest, the sect's third era, that is, its peak, began.
The first step towards reaching the top is to rectify the atmosphere within the family.
After taking office, Yu Peijin's first fire was directed towards the door.
The headmaster's hall.
Yu Peijin summoned many true disciples, as well as two real people, Yang Xiu'an and Yu Shipeng.
"Everyone, I have been recommended by the Supreme Elder and many brothers and sisters to take over the position of head of the sect and take charge of the sect."
Yu Peijin's majestic voice sounded in the hall, his eyes swept towards everyone, and his tone was stern: "I have no other purpose to teach here, I only come to clean up the atmosphere in the sect and regulate the behavior of the disciples.
With the development over the years, the sect became more and more prosperous, and even two true immortals were born one after another.
But the same, prosperous and charming.
Some people are confused by external things and influenced by outsiders, and their hearts begin to turn not toward the sect but toward outsiders.
If things continue like this, is he a disciple of my Taiping family or a disciple of which family?
And forgetting about outsiders, these people still formed gangs within the sect, helped the masters outside, and started fighting within the sect.
It turned a good sect into a mess.
This is how the atmosphere inside the door was corrupted.
What is this going to do?
Is this trying to break up Taipingdao?
These behaviors have seriously threatened the sect's inheritance and the sect's stability, causing the disciples to become distraught and unstable, thinking of shortcuts.
This kind of behavior must not continue.
Therefore, my first order is to strictly prohibit my disciples from getting too involved with outside sect monks.
I don't care about normal interactions.
But if there is interest mixed in the relationship, accepting benefits from others, betraying the interests of the sect, or speaking for others, this leader will have to take care of it.
The law does not apply retroactively to the past, so I will not pursue matters in the past.
But from today on, those who dare to violate this prohibition will be punished as treason and severely punished! "
The murderous words reached everyone's ears.
And Yu Peijin's eyes focused on Yang Xiu'an and Yu Shipeng, making the two real men tremble with fear and their faces turned a little pale.
Everyone knew that although the new headmaster did not say it explicitly, the people he was referring to in his words were the two of them.
At this time, I didn't point it out directly, but because these two were true immortals and an important fighting force of the sect, I didn't punish them.
But if they really dare to do it again in the future, they will really have to go through the sect's Immortal Killing Platform.
In the face of the righteousness of the sect, immortals are not invincible.
As this order was passed down, the mighty reforms within Taiping Dao officially began.
